Wacky Wiver Wace winners announced

GARDNERVILLE, Nev.

EDITOR:

It was a slooow wace down the slough this year with some youngsters eventually having to jump in and shoo those silly ducks along their way! When confronted with all those yellow motorcycle-vested wibber duckies massed together and coming her way, one real mommy duck and her young'uns had to jump out and brave the spectators. They then rushed to jump back in behind the wacers to find relative peace and quiet.

Our special thanks to Gil Goode and all those other volunteers who make this event happen each year through their help and support behind the scenes.
